hide Detailed Description
Statement
Reference
cmpy[Δ8] homozygous mutants are viable, although females are sterile. cmpy[Δ8] homozygotes do not exhibit defects in neuronal cell fate acquisition or axon guidance. cmpy[Δ8] homozygotes display a 52% increase in the number of boutons at neuromuscular junction (NMJ) 6/7 and a 57% increase in type I boutons at NMJ 4. cmpy[Δ8]/Df(3L)BSC452 larvae show a comparable phenotype. cmpy[Δ8] mutant boutons tend to be smaller than those of wild type. cmpy[Δ8] mutants display a 2.9-fold increase in the number of satellite boutons at NMJ 4. cmpy[Δ8] mutant NMJs contain more active zones, but the percentage increase is comparable to that in bouton number, such that the active zone density remain constant. The assembly of periactive zones appears normal.

Statement
Reference
The neuromuscular junction expansion phenotype seen in cmpy[Δ8] mutants is partially suppressed when animals are also heterozygous for gbb[1], Mad[1] or wit[A12]. wit[A12], cmpy[Δ8] double mutants show a 44% reduction in bouton number at neuromuscular junction 4, thereby phenocopying the neuromuscular junction undergrowth displayed by wit single mutants. Scer\GAL4[D42]-mediated expression of gbb[dsRNA.Scer\UAS.cBa] suppresses the neuromuscular junction expansion phenotype seen in cmpy[Δ8] mutants.

Comments
Scer\GAL4[D42]-mediated overexpression of cmpy[Scer\UAS.cJa] in a cmpy[Δ8] background fully rescues bouton number at neuromuscular junction (NMJ) 4 whereas overgrowth is reduced from 52% to 9% at NMJ 6/7. Comparable rescue is observed when Scer\GAL4[elav.PU] is used.
